Simply select Pickup at checkout when placing your order. Pickup must be chosen at the time of ordering, as all orders are placed online and we do not offer over-the-counter sales.
Because every sign is made to order, please allow our usual 2–3 business day manufacturing time. We’ll contact you as soon as your order is ready for collection, so please wait for confirmation before coming in.
Pickup address:
Unit 21/37–47 Borec Road
Penrith NSW 2750
If you have any questions about collection, call 1300 766 227 or email info@signshine.com.au, Monday to Friday, 9am–4pm.
Yes — every SignShine sign is made to order at our Sydney facility. Making each sign specifically for your order allows us to maintain consistent quality while offering a wide choice of sizes, materials and finishes, rather than limiting you to pre-stocked combinations.
Manufacturing typically takes 2–3 business days. For custom signage, this timeframe begins once your artwork has been approved.
Because every sign is made to order, the sooner you contact us, the more we can do to help.
For standard signs, we can usually change or cancel your order provided it has not yet entered manufacturing. As production may begin within our 2–3 business day manufacturing timeframe, please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make a change.
For custom signs, changes or cancellations can be made before you approve your artwork. Once artwork has been approved, manufacturing begins and the order can no longer be changed or cancelled, as it is being produced specifically for you.
To request a change or cancellation, contact us straight away with your order number:

Your GST tax invoice is emailed automatically as soon as your order is placed, so it usually arrives within a few minutes of checkout.
If you can't see it, check your spam or junk folder first, and search your inbox for "SignShine" — automated emails sometimes get filtered. Also double-check the email address you used at checkout was correct.
If it still hasn't turned up, just email sales@signshine.com.au and ask us to resend it — that's the quickest way. Include your order number if you have it, and we'll send your tax invoice straight back to you. You can also call us on 1300 766 227, Monday to Friday, 9am–4pm.
SignShine is an online store, so we don't have a walk-in shop or showroom and can't take in-person sales over the counter. All orders are placed through our website.
You can, however, collect your order from our warehouse instead of having it delivered — as long as you choose the pickup option when you order. See our warehouse pickup page for how that works. [LINK — links to /pages/faq-warehouse-pickup]
If you'd like help choosing the right sign before you order, our team is happy to talk it through. Call 1300 766 227 or email sales@signshine.com.au, Monday to Friday, 9am–4pm.
Yes — if you're ordering the same sign in volume, our pricing drops automatically as your quantity goes up.
The discount tiers, applied per item, are: 5% off at 25 or more, 10% off at 50 or more, and 15% off at 150 or more. The discount applies to the same item ordered in those quantities.
End-of-year sale: until 31 December 2026 every sign is 30% off the marked price, and these bulk discounts apply on top of the sale price. Order 150 or more of the same sign and you save the 30% plus a further 15%.
This works well for builders, contractors and councils ordering for fit-outs, multi-site rollouts or ongoing project work. Paired with free standard shipping on orders over $500, it keeps volume orders straightforward and cost-effective.
For larger or recurring orders, or to talk through a project, call 1300 766 227 or email sales@signshine.com.au.
Your Australian Consumer Law rights always apply: products that are faulty, damaged, incorrect or not as described are entitled to a remedy, and that can't be overridden.
For standard (stock) signs, we accept change-of-mind returns within 30 days on unused, resalable items. Depending on the reason, you may receive store credit or a refund of the product price to your account. Only the product price is refunded — shipping is never refunded, and return postage for a change-of-mind return is the customer's responsibility.
For custom signs, change-of-mind refunds aren't available, because each is made specifically for you. You're still fully covered if the item is faulty or the error is ours.
Custom and made-to-order signs are produced specifically for you, so we don't offer change-of-mind refunds on custom orders. You approve your artwork before manufacturing begins, which is there to make sure the sign is exactly what you want.
Your Australian Consumer Law rights still apply in full: if a custom sign arrives faulty, incorrect, or the error is ours, you're covered and we'll make it right with a repair, replacement or refund.
If your order arrives damaged, we'll make it right. Under the Australian Consumer Law, products that arrive faulty, damaged or incorrect are entitled to a remedy — and that applies to every order, including custom signs.
Please get in touch as soon as you can after your order arrives. Email sales@signshine.com.au with your order number and a photo of the damage if possible, or call 1300 766 227, Monday to Friday, 9am–4pm. A photo helps us sort it out quickly.
Once we've confirmed the issue, we'll arrange the appropriate remedy — a repair, replacement or refund. This applies regardless of whether the sign is from our standard range or made to order.
Yes — SignShine signs are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Made from Aluminium metal, ACP, Vinyl Sticker and Corflute, they're built to handle Australian conditions.
For permanent outdoor installations — including road, traffic and statutory signage — Aluminium metal and ACP are the most durable, and reflective finishes are available where visibility matters. Vinyl Sticker and Corflute suit shorter-term or indoor use.
Yes — many of our safety and road signs are available in Reflective Class 1 for better visibility at night and in low light. Reflective material bounces light back toward its source, so signs stand out under headlights or a torch.
The reflective option appears on the product page where it's available, and it works best on light-coloured sign backgrounds. It's particularly useful for outdoor fire equipment, road and traffic, and hazard and emergency signage.
Reflective is not offered on our Silver & Black or Gold & Black plates. Those metallic finishes are made for indoor and architectural identification, so they come in non-reflective materials only.
Yes — alongside our standard safety, road and statutory range, we can make custom signs with your own text, logo, size or colours.
Once you place a custom order, our in-house design team prepares the artwork (or works from artwork you supply) and sends it to you for approval before anything is manufactured. Custom signs are then made within the same 2–3 business day manufacturing time as our standard range, once artwork is approved.
Because custom signs are made specifically for you, change-of-mind refunds aren't available on custom orders — but you're fully covered if a sign is faulty or the error is ours.
Our standard safety, road and statutory signs are made to the relevant Australian Standards where one applies — such as AS 1319 for safety signs and AS 1742 for road and traffic signs. The specific standard a sign is made to is noted on its product page, and compliant options are available where a standard applies.
It's worth knowing that a sign being made to a standard is only one part of a compliant site. Choosing the correct sign, and getting its size, mounting height and placement right for your situation — along with meeting the applicable NCC, WHS and state requirements — remains the responsibility of the building owner, occupier or PCBU. This is general information, not legal advice.
Statutory signs are required in many buildings and workplaces under the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards such as AS 1319 — for example, "Fire Safety Door — Do Not Obstruct." They support building compliance and emergency safety.
General safety signs cover wider workplace messaging — warnings, prohibitions, mandatory PPE, notices and site information.
Both are made to the relevant Australian Standards where one applies, but choosing the right sign, size and placement for your site remains the responsibility of the building owner or occupier. This is general information, not legal advice.
